Colour and Clarity: According to SSEF reports, the sapphries are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of thermal treatment. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphires are intense to strong blue colour, very slightly included to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, both sapphires have feathers and fingerprint inclusions. Diamonds together weighing approximately 0.40 carat are about H to I colours, VS clarity.
